«I have ALWAYS wanted a BERNINA. Favorite features? Well, obviously I love the exceptional stitch quality and the BERNINA Stitch Regulator gives me the courage to try things that I wouldn’t have otherwise.»

Amanda Murphy

Amanda has sewn as long as she can remember, though not always well and certainly not according to any rules. The first project that she can remember was a tree skirt with angels on it. “I put makeup on the angel’s faces! (Did that make it an art quilt?) I also made my mom a 100% polyester pink lace dress that she actually wore, although she recently confessed only once.”

Amanda encourages budding sewers, pattern makers, and artists of all types to do what they really love. Find an original style and stick with it. Send designs to magazines and keep creating, even offering free patterns to create interest. Most importantly, be persistent and don’t give up! Sometimes things happen when you least expect it.
